Construction will begin this year on a new medical school at Waikato University.
The Government has given it the go ahead - and is providing $83 million dollars towards the project.
Health Minister Simeon Brown says the school will offer a post-graduate degree aimed at other fields, such as nurses or paramedics.
"This is about attracting people from those rural communities working potentially in healthcare or different roles and giving them the opportunity to upskill or become a doctor."
